Emilia Wickstead
Emilia Wickstead is a minimalist fashion designer based in London. Wickstead comes from New Zealand and first came to Europe to pursue art studies, not fashion. She launched her career in fashion as a high profile tailoring boutique owner in 2014.
Wickstead is one of the smaller independent designers that survived the pandemic without much hiccups. Her designs are often seen on Kate Middleton, which definitely helps.
Wickstead focuses on simple, feminine clothes. You could say she does minimalist fashion that is not androgynous. Her line is not vanguard, shocking, nor particularly aesthetic, but the materials are luxurious and well chosen for the effect the garment is meant to have.
Part of her line is also a collection of bridal fashion.
Emilia Wickstead’s designs are available worldwide through Matches Fashion.
